Author's notes: (See "The New Kids")

Ulrich and Yumi closed thier eyes tightly, waiting for the bullets to hit, then, they felt a tug on their bonds, so they slowly opened their eyes. They saw a little kid with goggles on his head, and robotic arms coimg out of his back. "So, you guys gonna just sit there, or are you gonna thank us?" he asked. "Gizmo, less talk, more action." a black-haired girl said to him.

Ulrich and Yumi both stood up and stared at the unusual-looking girl. "Um, thanks?" Ulrich said. The girl nodded her head, then ducked an oncoming terrorist, who ran right into a clothesline from the girl's larger, no, HUGE partner. Gizmo quickly cut the others loose, and they joined in fighting the terrorist, who had somehow lost their guns.

Once the welcoming committee was taken care of, the Titans turned to the girl and her friends. "It's been a long time, Jinx." Cyborg said. Jinx grinned at him. "Yeah, well, you guys can thank us later." she said. "Right now, I'm just here to get my baby back." At the mention of those words, everyone's jaw hit the floor. "You mean, you are the baby's mother?" Starfire asked. Jinx nodded. "It's a long story." she said.

"Talk later, right now, we got a kid to save, and some ass to kick." Mammoth said. The gang nodded, then out of the corner of her eye, Terra spotted Bin Laden trying to run in the other direction. "Oh no you don't." she said, focusing on the ground in front of him, then sliding it out from under him, traping the terrorist leader in a small hole.

Raven flew faster than any of the others when she saw Barracuss running, a large amount of terrorist blocking their path. Jinx quickly disabled their guns, while Mammoth slammed both of his fists into the ground, sending a shockwave into the earth, and in the terrorist's direction. The terrorist flew into the air, where the gang and the Titans proceeded to take shots at them.

Raven stayed locked on Barracuss, who kept running, until Raven used her powers to seal off his exit. Barracuss turned around, the baby in his arm, and his talon on her throat. "Give it up, you'll never win." Raven said, her eyes glowing white.

Barracuss glared at her. "If I am going to die, then I shall take this child to hell with me!" he shouted, raising his claws. Just then, he felt his hand moving towards his own throat. Raven looked back, and saw Jinx walking beside her, using her powers to control the monster's arm. "Get the baby, now!" she shouted to Raven.

Raven focused, and wrenched the baby from Barracuss's grip. Jinx moved forward, her power's control increasing with every step. "You will never harm my child ever again!" she shouted. Those were the last words Barracuss heard as his own claws plunged into his throat, down to his chest, and ripped out his own heart.

Both girls breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at eachother. "Thank you." Jinx said. "No problem." Raven replied. Raven held little Angela close to her, then she remebered what Jinx had said, and sighed deeply. "Wait a minute, just how do I know if you're telling the truth or not?" Raven asked.

Jinx held out her arm. "Go ahead, read my mind." Jinx said. Raven placed her hand on Jinx's hand, then pulled back almost instantly. "She's not trying to screw us over, the girl is hers." Raven announced. "Told ya." Gizmo said.

Cyborg had to be restrained by Robin, Starfire, and Terra so he didn't punt Gizmo like a football. Raven looked at the baby in her arms and sighed. "Well, little Angela, I guess it's over." she said. Jinx looked at the baby, then at Raven. "I like that name." she said.

Raven sighed again, then handed the baby over to Jinx, who instantly wrapped her in her arms and cuddled her. "I'm so happy I found you." she said. Raven stood up, then helped Jinx to her feet. "So, what's this all about?" Robin asked. The group looked at Jinx, then at Gizmo, then at Mammoth. Suddenly, Edge stepped between them. "Hey guys, the little lady's had a hard day, so let's just drop it, ok?" he asked.

Jinx shook her head, handed Angela to Mammoth and Gizmo, then sat down. "It's ok." she said reassuringly. While everyone else sat in chairs, Edge stood over Bin Laden and watched him struggle. Jinx sighed deeply before beginning. "Ok, here's what happened. About two years ago, the three of us quit the H.I.V.E., or more like they wanted us dead. Too many failures, I guess.

Anyway, Gizmo got us out of that situation in a hurry. After walking around for days, we came across this boy, he had a dark aura about him, and a stone like the one Raven has. I should have known better than to trust him, but I was stupid. He charmed me, lied to Gizmo and Mammoth so much that they almost believed him, and then he, well, he tried to, um..."

Jinx's voice began to break up as tears came to her eyes. "I think we can figure out what this asshole did to you." BeastBoy said, placing his hand on her shoulder. Jinx took a few deep breaths, and continued. "Shortly after our little encounter, we found a mansion and decided to rob it. How were we supossed to know it was full of people like us? Anyways, they capture us, but they didn't hurt us. Instead, we were introduced to a man who has changed our lives forever." she said.

"Let me guess, Charles Xavier. am I right?" Odd asked. "Odd, that only exist in comic books." Ulrich said. However, Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo all had a shocked look on their faces. "How did you know?" Jinx asked. "I saw the "X" on your outfits, then I knew you guys were on our side." Odd explained. "I hope I answered your questions." Jinx said before walking over to Gizmo and Mammoth.

"I'm just wondering one little thing, how in the heck did you guys become part of the "X-Men"?" Cyborg asked. "I took us forever, but slowly, we've learned that we can use our abilities to make amends for the crap we used to do." Gizmo said. "Yeah, and for some weird reason, I think I like it." Mammoth chimed in. The group watched the big, black jet land next to the base and the doors open up. Mammoth picked Bin Laden up out of the ground and carried him, tied up, on his back. "We'll drop off the president's Christmas present early." he said, grinning. "Thank you, all of you." Jinx said. "Don't mention it." Cyborg said.

Before the doors shut, Jinx turned back to Raven and Odd. "Um, I know this is going to sound weird, but, um, could you guys be Angela's godparents?" she asked. Odd and Raven looked at eachother, nodded slowly, then fainted. "I'll take that as a yes." Jinx said, walking back into the jet. Jinx giggled as the doors shut, then she turned to her partners. "I hope you guys don't mind." she said. "It's cool, just so long as I'm not stuck with her." Gizmo said. "Yeah, too mushy for my taste." Mammoth said.

Jinx walked over to Angela, picked her up, and hugged her tightly. "I'm so glad you're back." she whispered, resting the baby on her shoulder. 'It's good to be back, mommy.' Angela whispered into her mind.

The gang and the Titans walked back over to Cyborg's ship and jumped in. "I can't believe it's finally over." Odd said. Raven rested her head on his chest and fell asleep.

Elsewhere...

The dark figure smirked at Odd's words. "Oh, my dear boy, it is far from over. In fact, it's only just beginning." he said, licking his lips as the wind whispered a haunting melody through the caverns.

The End?
